ues, destroying the property OF private
citizens and reducing the revenues OF the
state over $2,OOO,OOO annually, without
any compensation. 1t is a document
that commends itself strongly to the de-
mocraoy Of the state; 1t does show the
only way of preventing the divisions
in that party, which will rend 1t worse
than the evil spirits that came out OF
the man who wandered among the
tOmbs, If the prohibition party gain
ground in this state.
As strong republican journal, the
LIGHT would, on the narrow ground OF
damaging the democracy OF Texas, stand
ba and say pull Dick-pull
Devil" but the LIGHT is more than
mere political partisan. The LIGHT rec
Ognizes the justice, the intense Ameri-
canism, the real substruoture OF civil
and political right which underlies this
anti-prohibition movement, and SO cor
daily supports it from principle alone.
1t does this while fully assured that the
continual triumph OF the anti-prohibi-
ton cause in Texas is the only hope OF
democratic success. and the perpetua-
ton of democratic hold on power. 1t Is
not because the LIGHT antagonizes the
democracy less, that it takes this
ground, but because it believes that the
evils to Texas OF perpetusted demo-
cratic rule are less than they would be,
were the state handed over body and
soul to the spirit of fanaticism and es-
pionage that is incarnsted In this probi-
bitiOn movement.

The ANTS PLATFORM.

The platform of the anti-prohibitionist
party Of Texas, the full text OF which
appeared in yesterdays LIGHT, is de-
serving Of much more than passing
notice, 1t is distinctive platform. Dis
tinctive above all other anti-prohibition
platforms that has been submitted to
consideration in the conventions of
other states. 1t is distinctive, notably
so, as compared with the platform Of the
prohibition party so recently set before
the people of this great empire state. 1t
is distinctive in that it is a business
document; it appeals to the business
sense and everyday judgment and dis
erection Of the people Of Texas irrespec-
tive OF any other consideration than
that OF their interests in the state. 1t is
patriotic document; it deals openly
and honestly with the vested rights Of
the citizen in his person and in his
property, and maintains that these
should be held sacred and inViolate. 1t is
document based upon the broad prin-
ciples OF equity TO all and equal rights
for all; it disclsims the idea OF creating
a condition Of things that shall bear
more heavily upon the poor than upon
the rich, and antagonizes that idea as
inimical to the spirit and genius of
American institutions. Ii is peace
preserving and peace devising and a
peace desiring document; it deprecates
the passage Of a law that will make every
home in Texas subject to the domicili-
airy visits Of spies, and pay a
regular premium to spies and informers.
1t is a conservative document; It aims
to preserve our liberties, our industries
and our liberties intact; it denies the su-
tbority Of tfestste, righteOusly, to in
terfere with the Industries of the state,
which nave been largely built up under
a condition of things heretofore accept
ed ne legal and in full accord with the
laws Of the state, but which it is now at
tempted to destroy, thus unsettling val

SATURDAY, MAY 7, 1887.
A JOURNALISTIC PUZZLE.

Can any one reconcile, or attempt to
reconcile, the following editorial clip
pings from a recent number Of the Gin
cinnati Times-Star? The LIGHT wants
more light on this subject. The Times
Star, commenting upon matters in Eng
land, says:
'sThere is a remarkable uRanimity Of
opinion among British politicians to the
effect that Harrington Sails
bury government will be so soon
done for that everybody will
wonder what it was begun for.
Even Randy Churchill the distln-
guished ass OF the tory party, wags his
ears in manner expressive of doubt.
Joseph Chamberlain, according TO one
dispatch, seems inclined TO agree with
prediction"
All this is plain sailing. There may or
may not be an agreement Of the reader
with the opinion above expressed, but It
il fair editorial comment upon the sit
uatiOn, and not unnatural deduction
from the same. But, in the next col
umn OF this same issue. the Times. Star
says:
Mr. GladstOne's colleagues are said to
be urging him to remain in office till the
house of commons shall formally give
him notice to quit. 1t is customary for
prime minister to wait for q defeat In
the commons, even after he has been
beaten at the polls, before resigning.
Mr. Gladstone may consider 1t wise to
abide by the line presidents. His de-
cisiOn will probably be made known in
u few days. From the cable news 1t ap-
pears that the most widely held opinion
Is that he will do as BeacOnstield did in
lSSO-step out at once and let the OppO.
siIlOn take hold of the government"
Now in the name of all the gods of
war what Office does Gladstone hold in
the English government? How can he
decide to quit an office he does not
hold, and step out Of that which he has
not stepped into? Gladstone is already
out. He went out when he was de-
feated on home rule and Salisbury be-
came prime minister. Until this minis
try is defeated upon some measure pro-
posed by them they will hold office, and
80 long as the Tories hold office, Glad
stone, who is liberal, is on the Opposi-
ton benches. If this is not SO the LIGHT
is open to correction; and If this is so
what does the Tfmes-Star mean?

"She's the sweetest girl in school" enthusi-

other, as they passed down the street together.

bought a supply. Edith took it faithfully, with
the result that II cleared her disOrdercd blood,

Primary Education.

II man finds stone that he sup
poses to be n diamond, he does not
take 1t home and place it in box,
there to remain with its beauties and
value undeveloped. What does he do?
He takes the rough stone to alapidary,
when he engages to develop its bril-
liancy and maze 1t Of value. The 1api-
Diary begins his work. Another face Is
ground, and more brilliancy is devel-
oped; and stiil another, with like re-
suits, and so On, until all the roughness
OF the stone is made TO disappear, and
the rare beauty Of the diamond shines
forth on every side.
Is not the primary pupil human
gem? The infant mind is Us the rough
diamond. It is placed in the hands Of
the teacher, the educational lapidary,
who proceeds, by slow and patient
processes, to develop the hidden beau
ties thereof. After months upon
months OF weary toll, the teacher Is
gladdened by the sight Of fash Of
rich light from the gem. His Joy is
unspeakable. He discovers new beau
ties to be developed, and turns another
rough side of the mental gem to the
rapidly revolving educational wheel.
More flashes from the precious jewel
On, ON tolls and labors the teacher,
until he is rejoiced to see rare gem
set in the galaxy Of precious, priceless
diamonds, and can point to it and
can proudly exclaim: I fashioned it
and first developed its beauty,-W. L.
